Redirect to Boston mayoral election, 2013 per WP:POLITICIAN and WP:ONEEVENT. Has not received significant coverage outside of the election. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:37, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, borderline speedy. He's apparently polling at 1% (lower even than the margin of error!) so I wouldn't redirect to the race. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:04, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Hirolovesswords. He is a legitimate candidate, and it is not our job to interpret polling tea leaves months before an election with a dozen candidates. Redirects are cheap, and people research candidates. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:49, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
